why !! operator exists? Why is it needed? Is there some really good reason?

Generally it’s a bit of a code smell, but it’s a quick-and-dirty way to tell the compiler that you know better than it, and that you’re willing to crash if you’re wrong.

On a more serious note, it can be quite useful for Java interop.
